LAUSD Common Core Standards Transition Timeline
2011-2012 School Year
2012-2013 School Year

2014-2015 School Year
Phase 1 Standards 1.Provide overview for all schools on CCSS 2.Implementation of the following two shifts in all classrooms

b. Focus strongly where the Standards focus. (Math).
3.Transition grades Kindergarten, 1st grade, 6th and 9th grade from CSS to CCSS Assessments •No changes in CST •Some piloting of formative assessments in targeted grades Professional Development •Monthly PD covering awareness and District CCSS priorities (all schools) •Targeted professional development for Kindergarten, 1st 6th and 9th
Phase 2 Standards Implementation of the following two shifts in all classrooms 1.Regular practice with complex text and its academic vocabulary (ELA and Content courses). 2.Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics within grades (Math). Assessments •No changes in CST •Greater changes in assessments to focus on CCSS like assessments Professional Development •Monthly PD covering District CCSS priorities (all schools) •Targeted professional development for 2nd , 3rd , 7th, 8th and 10th grade teachers
Phase 3 Standards Implementation of the following two shifts in all classrooms 1.Build knowledge through content-rich nonfiction and informational texts (ELA and Content courses). 2.Rigor: Require fluency, application, and deep understanding (Math). Assessments •Full implementation of Smarter Balanced assessments Professional Development •Monthly PD covering District CCSS priorities (all schools) •Targeted professional development for 4th , 5th, high school teachers

2. Rigor: Require fluency,
application, and deep understanding (Math)
3. Math Practices, TBD
Grades 4th,5th and 11th Deep understanding of the
standards for the grade level Understanding of how the
standards progress throughout grades
Implementation with one ELA unit and one Math Unit
Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th and
8th , 9th and 10th grades expand to all units with increasing text complexity and use of informational text
Cohort 3: CCSS Implementation
Professional Development
Collaboration with the Office of Curriculum and Instruction in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Collaboration and products created with the California Office of Reform for Education alongside with seven other districts in our state.
The Los Angeles Unified School District three year roll out plan, which will include focus grades, and shifts of instruction and practice
Future creation of an IEP Goal bank derived from the new CCSS
Current professional development on both the CCSS and Content for High School teachers.
Professional Development training on “Treasures” for our Elementary self contained teachers and correlations to the CCSS within a multi grade classroom.
Parent resources and training currently being conducted for parents
Description of how various departments are collaborating
California Office to Reform Education
A network of seven districts from throughout the state meet periodically to discuss and design formative assessments, rollout, and over all implementation of the common core standards.
Districts involved in the collaborative include:
Los Angeles San Francisco
Fresno Sanger
Sacramento City Long Beach
Clovis Oakland
CORE Assessments Math: 27 Modules
ELA :36 Modules
Overview and the awareness of the Common Core State Standards
Instructional shifts in mathematics
Focus as an instructional shift in mathematics
Emphasis on Mathematics Practices, especially Mathematics Practice 3
Construct viable argument and critique the reasoning of others.
The following critical areas, concept, or big ideas were selected:
Linear Sentences
Systems of Linear Equations
Quadratics
Specific Collaboration with Mathematics Program
Collaboratively, model lessons have been developed. While constructing the general education lessons, emphasis was placed on how teachers could adapt the model lesson based on the learning needs of students with disabilities.
All professional development has been presented as a collaboration between the Division of Special Education and the ELA Department to stress the importance that Special Education can and will be held to the same standards and that all of the PD and shifts are applicable to not only general education teachers but special education teachers as well.
During the summer of 2012, each school was asked to send 4 teachers to become CCSS leads at their schools. Of those 4 teachers, 2 were special education teachers.

Re-Alignment of current goal bank with new standards
Aligning IEPs to the CCSS By: Ginevra Courtade and Diane M. Browder
IEP Goal Bank (Welligent)
CCSS 4th Grade Reading Standard for Literature
Compare and contrast the treatment of similar themes and topics (e.g. opposition of good and evil) and patterns of events (e.g. the quest) in stories, myths, and traditional literature from different cultures.
IEP Goal Bank (Welligent)
CCSS Goal based on three different Present Levels of Performance:
1. Student will select object /pictures to compare two multicultural story themes for 4 out of 5 opportunities.
2. Student will use pictures to identify themes in multicultural literature read to him and sort the different stories by corresponding themes for 4 to 5 opportunities.
3. Student will use a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast the themes of multicultural literature he has previously read with 90% responses correct for at least 3 stories. (Courtade and Browder 2011)
IEP Goal Bank (Welligent)
Basal Alignment Project
Self Contained Classroom Training
Elementary ELA
Work of hundreds of educators who volunteered to revise the questions, tasks, and directions for your reading program. This set of questions, the vocabulary
words selected for you to discuss with students, and the new culminating tasks for each text
selection have all been carefully aligned to the Common Core English Language Arts Standards
(CCSS).
Basal Alignment Project
3 Day Training will Include:
CCSS Overview
Multi Grade Setting Planning (Combo Planners)
Ancillaries (Buffet Line)
Close Reading/Text Dependent Questioning
Assessment driving Instruction
Elementary ELA Core Self Contained Classrooms
Alignment of Current Instructional Guides to new CCSS
Incorporation of Smarter Balance Sample
Assessment into Bridge Lesson Anchor Standard Correlation Activity
Secondary ELA
Example of Anchor Standard Alignment Exercise

The existing data shows that whereas the entire district is making a steady increase in mathematics achievement especially in Algebra, the gap between the Special Ed students and the other subgroups is not closing.

General Education and Special Education Co-Presenting
Review of concept lesson -Tying Knot
Secondary Mathematics
Tying the Knot Concept Lesson
Concept Lesson: “Tying the Knot!”
Concept Lesson: “Tying the Knot!”
Your task is to explore the relationship between the length of a rope
and the number of knots tied in the rope.
a) By measuring the length of the rope after you tie each knot, investigate the relationship between the number of knots and the length of the rope.
b) Express this relationship in a table, a graph, a written description, and an algebraic formula.
Lesson Debrief: “Tying the Knot!” What EL/SEL strategies were modeled?
How did they contribute to building the important conceptual understandings of the task?
What role will your paraprofessional take and how will your planning reflect that?
How might you use Math Practice 3 to help students answer more
questions like the one we used today?
Be specific about the experiences you will provide students, including
EL’s, SEL’s, GATE, and SWD.
Using Mathematical Practice 3
• What will this look like in a self
contained or Resource setting? • What shifts in your practice will you
need to undertake as an educator? • Planning • Teaching • Reflection • Collaboration with others
Guiding Questions
Correlation of current materials
Curriculum Guide for Students with Moderate to Severe Disabilities
Development of concept lessons aligned to new standards
Connections between Functional Performance Indicators and the CCSS
Redefining “Independence”
CCSS College and Career Readiness. What does this mean to our Moderate to Severe population? How does this apply?
CCSS and Moderate to Severe
Functional English Language Arts
CCSS – Recognize and name all uppercase and lowercase letters to the alphabet FPI 1.2 Student will distinguish letters from non-letters FPI 1.3 Student will match same case letters CCSS– Isolate and pronounce, the initial, medial vowel, and final sounds FPI 2.2 Students will categorize sounds CCSS– Recognize that spoken words are represented in written language by specific sequences of letters FPI 3.2 – Students will match symbol/cue to activity and function
